Are
you ready for a change in your life? Feeling stressed, tired, or
overwhelmed? Professional counselling gives you a respectful, skilled
sounding board and help in developing your own creative solutions to
life challenges. You can manage difficult situations and emotions,
develop new ways of thinking and reacting, find joy in dark times, and
rebuild your life on your own terms. You may come to counselling with a
clear idea of what you would like to accomplish, or we can work together
to identify your goals. Many people report that they begin to feel
better after only a short number of sessions.

HOW DO I BEGIN?

The
first step is to find a counsellor who is a good fit for you. You can
find a list of qualified counsellors in your area at the BC Association of Clinical Counsellors . It
is important that you feel comfortable with the counsellor you choose,
that your counsellor has experience helping people in your situation,
and that she or he is available at a location and time that works for you. You can call Stephanie at 250-937-1223 in Parksville to find the answers to these questions.

WHAT CAN I EXPECT?

The best results come from developing a positive relationship with your counsellor. At
a first appointment, we will talk about what has brought you to
counselling, and develop a plan to address your concerns. I will
approach your situation with deep interest and unbiased respect. I hope that you will feel comfortable sharing your
thoughts and feelings, and will do what I can to merit your trust.
